}}'''"We're In This Together"''' is the fifth track on the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It was also released as a [[We're In This Together (halo)|single]], receiving the designation of Halo 15. According to [[Keith Hillebrandt]], the "whole song started from something (Reznor) actually played at the end of another track. He wrote it up into an entirely new song." [http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart78.shtml] [[Trent Reznor]] commented on the creation of the song in a VIVA 2 Magazine interview:<blockquote>"When I wrote that song it was one of the last songs for the record. I like the obviousness of the track but I was fearful of the obviousness of the track and in a record that I think is pretty dense and somewhat challenging to get through, I didn't want a song that was too obviously the hit single. Of all the tracks on that album I think that was the hardest to arrange and mix, because if it was mixed poorly, it sounded too obvious in the context of the record, and at this point we were very aware of the context of the record. So what I learned from the process of doing that was the vocal track I would have thrown out that was out of tune and my voice was breaking up was the one that I needed to use, because it added a desperation that made the whole mood of the song feel right."[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xint52.shtml]</blockquote>
